New "Pain Shield" Portable Ultrasound Device

Post by Faith »

Thought some may be interested in reading about this new device that was presented at the IPPS conference last month in Chicago. You can read more about it here http://kevmed.com/index.html It does not list a price on the site. I have emailed them asked for price for patches and the device and the size of the patch itself. I have an area on my sacrum that benefits from ultrasound. You can purchase home ultrasound machines off amazon, but they aren't the high quality like PTs use of course. Not sure how the pain shield compares to an office therapeutic ultrasound machine either.
